A slanted serif design with gently bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a clear calligraphic influence. The curves show a diagonal stress and the joins are smooth, giving counters an open, bookish feel. Capitals are sturdy and slightly wide with crisp terminals, while lowercase forms are more fluid and cursive in rhythm, with single-storey a and g and a softly tapered f. Numerals follow the same angled, oldstyle spirit, with varied widths and subtly flared endings that keep the texture lively in running text.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where an italic serif voice is desired for body text, introductions, or emphasis. It also works effectively for refined headlines, pull quotes, and formal materials such as programs or invitations that benefit from a traditional, cultured tone.
The overall tone is classical and cultivated, evoking editorial typography and traditional printing. Its italic motion adds energy and elegance without becoming overly decorative, lending a poised, literary voice.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, readable serif italic with a classical foundation and a measured calligraphic touch, balancing elegance with steady text rhythm for practical editorial use.
Rhythm is consistent across the alphabet with noticeable width variation between letters, creating a natural, text-like color. The italic slant is steady and the serifs remain controlled, supporting clarity at paragraph sizes while still offering a distinctive, slightly calligraphic character.
